Winston's Diary The first podcast following the making of a comic book adaptation of George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984". Listen what its like to produce an independant comic book from A to Z. You'll hear what its like to adapt the script, design the characters, work the composition of the page, ink color, scan, letter, edit, publish and promote the comic. Undoubtedly we'll be following the Orwellian tangent of the news, mainstream and not-so mainstream plus the inevitable rant and rave of life as an indy artist on a shoestring budget in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Life of Reason volume 2 by George Santayana Loyal Books The Life of Reason, subtitled "the Phases of Human Progress", is a book published in five volumes from 1905 to 1906, by Spanish-born American philosopher George Santayana (1863-1952). It consists of Reason in Common Sense, Reason in Society, Reason in Religion, Reason in Art, and Reason in Science. The work is considered to be the most complete expression of Santayana's moral philosophy [...]. Santayana's philosophy is strongly influenced by the materialism of Democritus and the refined ethics of Aristotle, with a special emphasis on the natural development of ideal ends. The Life of Reason is sometimes considered to be one of the most poetic and well-written works of philosophy in Western history. To supply but a single example, the oft-quoted aphorism of Santayana's, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," may be found on p. 284 of Reason in Common Sense.

He is primarily known as a philosopher, his five-volume The Life of Reason being his magnus opus. But he also wrote a successful novel, The Last Puritan, as well as plays, essays and poetry. During his time at Harvard he influenced many of his student including T.S. Eliot and Robert Frost.Of these poems which he chose to collect together in this volume he says, "What I felt when I composed those verses could not have been rendered in any other form. Their sincerity is absolute, not only in respect to the thought which might be abstracted from them and expressed in prose, but also in respect to the aura of literary and religious associations which envelops them. . . .
